In reply to the discussion: I only get into trouble on DU when I try to get to what's real. [View all]Number23
(24,544 posts)184. I've seen enough. Between your performance in this thread and your idiotic performance a few months
ago where you came in here far more determined to be offended and insulted by the posters in this forum than to engage us, it is obvious that you want to be here as much as we want you here.
You are probably the only person in the world that would take that poster's comment about not seeing a single AA in the crowd so literally. I think it's pretty obvious that their point is that even if you want to argue that there are poc in the Sanders crowds, that they are massively underrepresented. Your inability or unwillingness to argue that is very telling.
So maybe you should just stay away from the AA group. It seems like that would be best for everyone involved.
